Quilt Along January 2013

Well I see we have been quite busy for those playing along and I think that is absolutely wonderful. I really am happy to see that people are enjoying themselves. You have all been great with helping each other out and being understanding that this probably isn't the most organized Quilt Along you have all been apart of...LOL This was the first time I was trying to do this and I have learned a bit along the way to make another one much easier and much more organized.

Anyway, on to what I wanted to get together this weekend. Below you will find all of the blocks we have done so far for those who may be just starting or who wandered along the way..

I am going to list all the Easy blocks by week first, than all the challenging blocks by week, after that will be anything we added along the way.

So as you can see we have 8 blocks in each of the categories and 2 extra blocks posted just for fun. Since we need 12 blocks all together to create a 60x60 lap quilt we will not have any more breaks for the quilt along. Over the next 4 weeks we will post the last four blocks that will finish out the sampler quilt top. I will also post some extra blocks each week for those that have not done all the blocks in either category so that they have some choices to finish out the quilt top. Some of those extra blocks will be challenging, but for good reason. Another quilt along will begin in September that will be using the skills that you have used here as well as adding on a few more skills. The September Quilt Along isn't going to be a sampler, it's going to be a designed quilt top by myself and Carolyn MT. All the details will be posted by the end of June such as approximate amount of fabric needed, the skills we will be working on, and the size of the quilt. The actual designed quilt top though will not be shown until September when we start.

See everyone later and hope you're still enjoying the quilt along and looking forward to the future project..
